EU–Russia Energy Relations: Aggregation and AggravationFootnote1

¹ This article was first presented at a round table held by the University of Helsinki and Aleksanteri Institute, Finnish Centre for Russian and East European Studies, April 2006. It has benefited greatly from feedback at the 2007 ISA in Chicago (Panel SB 38: Unique Perspectives on Leadership) and the 2007 UACES Conference in Portsmouth, as well as from colleagues at Chatham House and those in the Energy Analysis Group at the University of Kent. I am also indebted to Adnan Amkhan for his knowledgeable and insightful input of many key details.
